Askabt, the company behind Scrollback, was started in Bangalore, India in August 2012 by Gaurav Srivastava and Aravind Ravi-Sulekha. Their first product was a community-based question-answer service using the XMPP network, similar to Aardvark but with an additional embeddable web interface. In February 2013, the company moved to Singapore to take part in the JFDI.Asia Accelerate program.[2] While at JFDI, it pivoted to discussion spaces for communities and launched Scrollback in late June 2013.

Scrollback aims to bring the community experience of IRC to the mainstream.[3]
